Well , I mowed today, but I'm getting the feeling that the 108 needs major
attention . Last two times I mowed, started to use oil [half a qt in an acre and a half.] mentioned before that it was smoking mostly out the breather, now when it first starts coming out the muffler big time for almost a whole lap around the yard then backs off . then returns back to the breather on down hill right turns mostly. also noticed sparks coming from the throwout bearing area when I got off to move a down drain pipe. Hope I can get another couple months out of her. Thinking of givin er the heart out of the Bolens. 18 HP V twin Van Guard. Just wondering If PTO bearing would be OK.

Jim H.,
You should look over your engine when you can to see just what you have going on. I had a K301 that smoked like a fog machine. It was a nightmare inside. On the other hand I have had two K241 that smoked, one really bad. The one only needed de-carbonized and a valve adjustment. Of course truing up the head did not hurt either. The other got the same treatment with a new piston, rod and rings. They are both running strong and smooth. What I'm trying to say is that it might not be all that bad inside and you won't know till you look. And based on what I have seen with my tractors I think an inspection is very worth while.

Well I am still trying to figure out how to mount my IH model 2 tiller to my 1811 3 pt bracket the way that the previous owner supposedly had it. I have a thread in the attachments section with pics up for suggestions and advice if anyone is interested.

Spent most of the day on the 149. Loaded up and went to the property where i grew up to do the mowing there. Then headed over to my friends house to help him mow. Between the 2 places it was about 7 hours of seat time :biggrin2.gif:

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
